Summary
John Michael Gyllenborg is an athletic tight end who creates matchup issues for opposing defenses. A former basketball standout, he uses his long frame and build-up speed to stress linebackers and safeties in the passing game. While still refining his technique as an inline blocker, his ability to separate on vertical routes and run through tackles in space makes him a dangerous target.
